Addiction
Addiction… god damn addiction.
Whether it’s a substance, alcohol, porn, gaming, phones, it doesn’t matter.
It can be a massively destructive force to us and those around us. It can destroy families, marriages, relationships, and friendships. it can mess with our heads, confidence, emotions, leaving us wondering if we are living the life we should be living.
Will power is a useful and important tool, but it is one tool in our tool belt. It takes more than just promising to never do it again. Only relying on will power can lead to a lot of shame for being ‘weak,’ which is like pouring gas on a fire… leading us to ‘use’ again.
You are not weak. Addiction has very little to do with being weak or strong… there is more at play that NEEDS to be explored.
